Should I go to the doctor? Suggestions wanted!

want to get some thoughts...I'm 16 weeks along and been having some minor cramping all day...now I'm starting to see tiny bits of bloody mucus on the toilet paper. Should I go in and get checked out or wait it out longer to see if anything gets worse? We don't have any money for unwarranted doctor visits.

YES! You need to go to the an emergency room or make a doctor's appointment ASAP! Do not wait. I had the same symptom when I was pregnant with my little girl and the doctor insisted that I come to his office that day. The doctor was not able to find anything wrong, but told me that spotting is not normal while you are pregant and could be a sign of complications.
